Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

whoa thread opened to that Donahue clip posted in August. in Twin Peaks context it just seems creepy even though it's just 80s tv. i used to love Donahue for some reason. i'm sure i watched or set the vcr to tape that when it aired bc i was so into Twin Peaks. that is something.

went to another episode screening last night, included Leland's capture/death episode

this time around was struck by how much Peggy Lipton/Norma seems to be channelling Joan Crawford throughout the series

drew this on the chalkboard at our practice/work space

whoa

haha no. i used an overhead projector.

That is so rad.

i'm at season 2x12 and i don't really care about anything that's happening any more. is it worth continuing?

yes

The next few are probably the absolute low point TBH - but you've come this far! And there are legitimate highs up ahead.

gotta see all of the gordon cole scenes

okay, if there's more gordon to come i'll stick it out. I CAN DO IT.

I just finished season 1 of True Blood. The synthesizers playing in the background during Jason and Amy scences remind me of the Donna and James scenes in Twin Peaks. True Blood was all right until the ***SPOILER*** CAJUN ACCENT FOR ACTORS cassette.

Series finale is totally worthwhile.

you've gotta power through, merdeyeux.

Wow @ that dance floor! Fantastic.
Finished my re-watch (never saw the finale when it originally aired though) last saturday with eps 26 -29. Season 3 c/would've been awesome.

THE WORK 'LINKAGE' REMINDS ME OF SAUSAGE. NEVER CARED MUCH FOR THE LINKS. PREFERRED THE PATTIES.

i didn't see your post before, table, but i just came here to say that even if the remaining four episodes are terrible i'll get by on the good vibes from gordon's conversation with shelly.

I CAN HEAR YOU PERFECTLY!

The final episode makes it all worthwhile.

DONE. it really turned around when the windom earle storyline became central, and yeah that final episode was superb. so when does season 3 start.

I am enormously glad they never did a season 3. It's sort of interesting to think about a plotline with Evil Cooper in the real world but yeah after a few episodes of that and Good Cooper wandering around the halls, i think it would lose something. There's an intensity in having all of that in that one last episode and i think there's a real danger in further exploring plotlines just to do so. See pretty much the rest of season 2.

Windom Earle sucked so bad

Woohoo!

Now that you're past the spoiler mark, I present this thread: Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)

Windom Earle was definitely a disappointment compared to the way he was hyped. He definitely could have been way worse though.

i just watched FIRE WALK WITH ME last night. can someone explain why lil man says good cooper is trapped in the lodge and he's there next 2 laura when she dies. HE HASN"T EVEN GONE IN THERE YET

"ITS FUCKING CONFUSING"

Because of supernatural witchy woo, clearly. Also: because the film was made after the show and many people were confused.

Remembering the painting she received from Chalfont that she left on the front lawn, Laura goes outside to get it. After hanging it on her wall, she falls asleep. She dreams about entering the Black Lodge and about a ring. Suddenly Cooper enters the room and we see the Man from Another Place. He tells Cooper that he (the Man from Another Place) is "the arm" and he utters an Indian Whooping sound. The Man from Another Place offers the ring to Laura but Cooper tells her not to take the ring. Laura finds Annie Blackburn (Heather Graham) next to her in bed, covered in blood. Annie tells Laura in her diary that "the good Dale" (Cooper) is trapped in the Black Lodge and can't leave. Laura sees the ring in her hand and is frightened. Hearing the muffled cry of her mother, Laura goes to her bedroom door. She is suddenly in the painting. When she turns she sees herself sleeping peacefully in her bed.

so its just a dream premonition or what

Have you ever seen a David Lynch movie?

who's david lynch

i liked windom earle but there's a lot to h8 abt season 2

That's amazing. I like how i would also have just believed that was a regular Atari game... it's not actually more or less bizarre than, say, the E.T. game.

reminds me of superman

Pro: I agree that the "25 Years Later" element could work.
Con: It might be on NBC.
